Other Leaves: Mississippi

Summary

However, Mississippi employers with 50 or more employees within a 75-mile radius will likely be required to adhere to the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). SeeFamily and Medical Leave.

Mississippi private employers may not terminate employees who take leave to fulfill active duty or reserve duty military obligations, although such leave may be unpaid. SeeMilitary Leave.

Mississippi law prohibits employers from terminating employees who take leave for jury service. SeeJury Duty Leave.

Mississippi does not require an employer to provide employees with time off to vote. SeeVoting Leave.
